Public indebtedness bills introduced
Three constitutional amendments regarding public indebtedness were introduced unanimously in the House Revenue & Taxation Committee this morning. All three are co-sponsored by Rep. Fred Wood, R-Burley, and Sen. Joe Stegner, R-Lewiston. One deals with hospital districts, one with airport authorities, and one with municipal power systems. To become law, a constitutional amendment needs both two-thirds passage in each house of the Legislature, and a majority vote of the people at the next general election.
